there were no restaurants in my area, but I did pick up 4 $25 gift cards to lobstergram.com for only $8! plus with my cash back it will only be $6.08!! We will be having seafood for Father’s Day for only $6! I think i may go back and buy more gift cards for lobstergram.com
Be careful because I think you do have to spend $95 in order to use each $25 gift certificate you buy for Lobstergram. So you will still have to spend $70 out of pocket for each gift certificate.
Lisa is right, you have to spend at least 95.00 to lobster gram.
Maybe I’m just hungry right now, but that pie and ice cream looks sooooo yummy! 😛
Thanks!!! I just picked up a couple gift certificates for Giordanos in my area. Wonderful!
They are right in the area that my girlfriends and I meet for our monthly dinner get togethers. How awesome!
what does collin mean by going threw shopathome.com? im confused can someone help thanks
i got 4 certificates for a semi local restaurant but when they printed they say i can only use one per party, per month…..that sucks.
that just happened to me too! i am calling customer service to see if i can get it refunded??
You have a year to use them. The one per table is pretty standard for any coupon.
Lisa – yes, you are correct. I still think it’s a good deal, but you can’t redeem on-line, you have to call your order in to redeem. yuck! AND you can only use one GC per order, so you have to break up your order and pay $34.99 shipping on each order! Most of the “fine print” only arrives after you purchase the GC and when you go to redeem.
So the gift card doesn’t even end up covering all of the shipping?!?!?
is the tip included or do you have to tip out of pocket?
The $25 one that I used required a $35 minimum order and then 18% gratuity and tax was added on top of that. I ended up still spending around $24 total out of pocket even though I only paid $3 for the $25 gift card.
I have started only using them at places that don’t have sit down service, like at a pizza place. I just don’t find it is that great of a deal when you add the tip and probably spend more than you would have without the gift certificate. For pizza places though, it is awesome.
I’ll have to check out the pizza places because like you said it sounds like a not so good deal after all the restrictions are placed. I must be rip van winkle…18% gratuity..gheez
So, it only works on the $25 GC? The only restaurant near us on the list requires $35 purchases.
You’re all right. The pie looks great!
Are you sure they expire? According to the Restaurant.com’s FAQs… “Restaurant.com Gift Certificates do not expire.” Plus, in certain states, like CA, I think it’s illegal for gift certificates to have an expiration date.
Mine always have a one year expiration date printed on them.
I purchase these each time and we are always happy with them. We have never had a problem with the Restaurant not accepting and we get A LOT of food for the same price we would pay for a no-frills dinner out.
I would like to get a $100 Melting Pot Gift Card. There are several around (one 30 miles away, the other 35), but I can’t find it on there? If I get a Restaurant.com gift card, can I use it at the Melting Pot? My parents 25th anniversay is coming up in the beginning of July, and we’d like to do something extra-speial for them… thanx!
I’m going to call Restaurant.com and just ask them… If they aren’t sure, I’ll call the Melting Pot. I really hope it works out, because my parents have been talking about going there a lot lately! 😉
I have never seen the Melting Pot on there before, but we have Colorado Fondue here which is just as good & not as expensive & they are on the site.
The certificates I buy never have an expiration date printed on them, maybe because I live in Calif.
So, If i were to purchase two $25 gift cards and the fine print says that with (1) $25 gift card there is a min. purchase of $50, i couldn’t use both $25 gift cards?
or could i? 🙂
Nope.
Love the website! Its very helpful and we use it all the time to find great deals.
Thanks!
I have been a long time fan of restaurant.com! Yes, you have to be careful about the restrictions, each gift card will have it’s own restrictions, which is set by the restaurant & some are pretty outrageous! Most are reasonable however. I was so excited to see this deal as I am a mypoints.com member & one of their rewards is a restaurant.com gift certificate soooo I used my gift certificate from their site (which of course was free) combined with this discount code & turned it into $320 worth of gift certificates!!! I was so excited I was dancing around! There’s alot of restaurants in my area that we love who work with this site & I have used them pretty often before that have very reasonable restrictions which with our family of 5, we never have a problem meeting. As far as gratuity goes, my boyfriend & I have been servers/bartenders in the past & if we go somewhere that the service isn’t worth tipping that much, we DO NOT go back! Automatic gratuity is becoming pretty standard practice though for parties of 6 & up really, so usually if we have even one family member at dinner with us, we’ve hit the mark. If for some reason that happens to you & you don’t feel the service warrants that, ask for the manager & explain the situation & they will adjust the percentage, I have done this before also.
